Collect the crusts or edges of bread and freeze them over a week.

Spread the frozen bread crusts on a tray with a cloth underneath.

Let the bread crusts air dry for 1 hour.

Break the dried bread crusts into smaller pieces and place them in a dry mixer grinder.

Grind the bread pieces until they reach a fine powdery texture.

Remove the ground breadcrumbs into a bowl and continue grinding the rest.

Heat a kadhai (pan) on low flame and add the breadcrumbs.

Roast the breadcrumbs on low flame for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Observe the color change of the breadcrumbs as they roast.

After 15 minutes, switch off the flame and let the breadcrumbs cool completely.

Store the cooled breadcrumbs in an airtight container, ensuring no moisture is present.
